Item 2. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
The Board of Directors of the Company determined that it is in the Company's best interest to change the firm selected to audit the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002 from Anderson, Anderson & Strong to PricewaterhouseCoopers. Andersen, Andersen & Strong was dismissed on July 12, 2002 and PricewaterhouseCoopers was engaged on July 12, 2002.
The Board of Directors made this change due to the more diverse geographic nature of the anticipated operations of the Company in the future. A larger more international firm, like PricewaterhouseCoopers, with offices in both Vancouver, the anticipated location of the Company's corporate and administrative offices, and principal cities in the United States where the Company is planning to do business in the future is better suited to conduct the audit and other accounting advisory services that will be required by the Company than a much smaller firm with a geographic base in Salt Lake City, Utah, which is unconnected to the Company's principal current and anticipated business locations.
Andersen, Andersen & Strong's reports on the financial statements for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2000 and September 30, 2001 each contained a qualification stating that there was substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Other than these going concern qualifications, Andersen, Andersen & Strong's reports on the financial statements for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. There were no disagreements with Andersen, Andersen & Strong on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to Andersen, Andersen & Strong's satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with any of its reports.
